Upcoming CME Symposia & Other Activities
 
Engaging Learners through Innovation and Technology (ELITe) Course
The Engaging Learners through Innovation and Technology (ELITe) Course is a two-day conference designed for health professions educators across all specialties interested in advancing their teaching skills in the current environment. Education has rapidly changed over the past ten years. Rather than just lectures and textbooks, educators can now choose from podcasts, vodcasts, free open access medical education (FOAM), massive open online classrooms (MOOC), simulation, and audience response systems as instructional techniques or augmentations. Educators will walk away from the conference with a tangible product.

UCI HoLEP Masterclass: Laser Enucleation of the Prostate
There is a perception that HoLEP is a challenging and tough procedure to learn. Surgeons might be concerned about harming the patient during the first steps. A significant study comparing the patient outcomes for surgeons with and without mentorship adopting this procedure found that surgeons with mentorship in their initial learning curve had lower operative times, more prostate tissue removed, less bleeding, and most importantly, lower incidence of treatment-related adverse events. Therefore, this masterclass offers similar mentorship through a realistic full procedure simulation with an expert proctor for surgeons adopting this procedure.
